Subject:Purchase Order for Computer Equipment R-Computer
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The Sheriff's IT unit supports 58 servers, 587 desktop computers, 90 laptop computers, as well as printers, copiers
and fax machines. In order to respond to our user's needs, we need to have a reliable vendor who can process our
orders quickly and efficiently. Locally owned, small business R-Computer is able to do this, and understands the
unique needs of the Sheriff's Office and the need to keep critical processes functioning for public safety. This change
order is to increase the total amount of the purchase order by another $350,000.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The purchase order amendment will not be executed resulting in the Sheriff's Office not being able to access various
computer hardware as required.
